When we arrived at Luofo Temple, Master Jingyuan was already waiting at the door, followed by a group of young monks.
Seeing Gu Qingsheng getting off the carriage, they all walked forward, bowed their heads and clasped their hands together in greeting.
"Princess Changle."
"Master, long time no see."
I smiled and greeted Jingyuan, who nodded.
"Times have changed. When I last came here, the princess was still a princess. After such a short time, she has become a princess. I would like to congratulate the princess here."
For some reason, Gu Qingsheng could always hear some sighs in these words.
"Do you know this old bald donkey?"
Miao Lanlan asked.
I had only met Master Jingyuan a few times when burning incense, and we had no other interactions, so naturally there was no question of whether we knew each other or not.
"I am indeed not very familiar with Master Jingyuan."
After answering Miao Lanlan's question with great certainty, Miao Lanlan sighed and asked curiously:
"That's strange. Why do I feel like this old bald donkey is like my daughter is growing up?"
Ignoring Miao Lanlan, Gu Qingsheng followed Jing Yuan into the house.
The residence was still the one she lived in before. After sending Gu Qingsheng in, Jingyuan was about to leave, but Gu Qingsheng stopped him.
"master."
Jingyuan stopped and looked back at her
"What's the matter, Princess?"
"Actually, I didn't come here just to pray for blessings. I just have something I want to ask you, Master. I wonder if you can make it convenient for me?"
Although she said so, Master Jingyuan also guessed it. After all, it was hard to believe that she had traveled so far just to pray for blessings.
"What's the matter, Princess?"
Jingyuan turned around, lowered her head towards Gu Qingsheng, and sat opposite her, looking as if she was listening attentively.
Carefully observing Jingyuan's expression, Gu Qingsheng hesitated for a moment and then asked
"I'd like to ask, Master, did you know a child named Ayue in the capital of Jinchu more than ten years ago?"
Like Xu Qingyi, he wanted to see other expressions on Jingyuan's face, but it was all in vain.
“I haven’t met him.”
He replied.
It was as if the loss in his heart had been shattered, but at the same time, Gu Qingsheng felt relieved.
She exhaled
"I see."
"I did go to the capital to gain experience more than a decade ago, but that was to increase my experience and knowledge. After arriving in the capital, I only gave alms and did charity. I don't understand other things and have never done them."
Jingyuan answered Gu Qingsheng again, her eyes closed deeply.
"Then I understand. Thank you, Master Jingyuan."
Gu Qingsheng forced a smile at Jingyuan and turned to Bailu.
"Send Master Jingyuan out."
After Bai Lu sent Master Jingyuan in, he closed the door and felt a little depressed for a moment.
"Princess, what should we do? Master Jingyuan doesn't know anything... Did we come here for nothing?"
"fine."
Gu Qingsheng Road
"Then just take it as a blessing."
Is it true that the memory between me and A Yue will disappear just like that?
Could she really not find A Yue at that time? Was her mother's death and the conflict with Gu Fengnan destined to be buried?
While comforting Bai Lu, her hands on the table gradually tightened.
…
It's another rainy day.
After we arrived at Luofo Temple, it started raining in Luofo Town.
The incessant rain wasn't cold even when it hit my face.
However, due to the weather, the road on the mountain was difficult to travel, and she had no way to go back, so she could only stay here.
Through the gloomy dark clouds outside the window, Gu Qingsheng saw a few fallen sycamore leaves.
A young monk was hiding from the rain under a paulownia tree, holding a bowl. He seemed to be complaining about something, as his body was soaked. A large lotus leaf was covering the bowl.
"That young master."
Gu Qingsheng called him through the window
"You can come here to take shelter from the rain. There's always some rainwater under the sycamore tree."
Hearing Gu Qingsheng's voice, the little monk turned towards her, was shocked when he saw her appearance, and then bowed hurriedly.
"I originally wanted to hide here from the rain, but I didn't expect to disturb you. How rude! I'm leaving now..."
"etc!"
Gu Qingsheng found it a little funny to see him being so cautious. He didn't know what Jing Yuan was saying about him behind his back and how to keep these people away from him.
"Why are you running? I'm not going to eat you."
Through the rain, her face was not very clear. I could only see her half-hidden cherry-red lips and her indigo-like eyebrows through the thin mist.
The little monk blushed and lowered his head.
"Excuse me."
"Little Master, I want to ask you something."
Being bored, Bai Lu became interested in the precious bowl in his hand.
"It's raining heavily. What precious thing is in your bowl that can't be exposed to the rain? Take it out and let us see it."
The little monk looked at the bowl in his hand and smiled shyly.
"This is the water from the spring in the mountains. The flowers in our temple are so delicate, and every one of them is watered with this spring water."
"Today I saw a flower that was turning over, so I thought of gathering some spring water and sending it over first. Unexpectedly, it suddenly rained halfway through, so I ended up in such an embarrassing situation."
There is a spring in the back mountain.
Gu Qingsheng thought about it.
"Does that mountain spring lead directly to the ice spring?"
The little monk's face turned pale and he lowered his voice hurriedly.
"How did you know about Bingquan?"
"It is forbidden to mention this ice spring here. My dear, please don't let Master Jingyuan hear about it."
After he finished speaking, he saw that the rain was getting heavier, and he slapped his thigh and cried out "ouch!"
"No, I have to go check on my flowers. The rain is so heavy. What if they get knocked over?"
He was about to run out when Gu Qingsheng hurriedly called him back.
"Wait a moment, little master."
Hand the red umbrella to Bai Lu
"Send it to the young master quickly."
The little monk took Bai Lu's umbrella in the rain, thanked her repeatedly, then opened the umbrella and left.
Bailu comes back and pats the rain off her body
"It's raining really hard outside. Princess, please don't go out if you have nothing to do..."
Gu Qingsheng raised his eyebrows and reached out to pick up the other umbrella.
"That's unfortunate. I was just about to go out."
"Since we're here, let's go take a look at the ice spring..."
"Princess!"
After a moment of hesitation, Bai Lu stamped her feet in anger, but saw that Gu Qingsheng had already gone out with an umbrella, so she had no choice but to take the umbrella and follow him.
"I've already said that the Ice Spring is a forbidden area. Why did Princess still want to go there? Aren't you afraid that Master Jingyuan will find us and kick us out?"
"It might have been a forbidden area before I discovered it, but now..."
She curled her lips and smiled
"I've been in that ice spring for several days. It's not really a forbidden area."
"Go and have a look. I wonder what it looks like now."
